5/56 The Farmhouse
II
House formerly a farmhouse. Mid C19 front range with earlier back range. Flemish bond brick with vitrified headers. Black glazed pantile roof with coped verges and projecting brick eaves course. Brick axial and gable-end stacks. English bond brick and earlier brick and flint walls in rear outshut.
Plan: The mid C19 2-storey, 2-room plan front range has a central entrance hall. At the back there is an earlier 2-storey outshut which appears to incor- porate the remains of an even earlier building at its right hand end. At the left hand end of the outshut in the angle with the front range there is a lower single storey outshut with double doors at its left end.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Almost symmetrical 3-window front, the central doorway and window above are situated to the left of centre. C19 double sashed without glazing bars under rusticated segmental rubbed brick arches with headmoulds above the centre first floor window is a single sash. Central doorway with a large Doric porch with fluted columns supporting a pedimented canopy with triglyphs in the frieze and mutules under the cornice of the entablature; C19 panelled and moulded door with a rectangular overlight.
The back wall of the rear outshut is English bond brick, the lower courses are brick-on-edge header bond and to the left there is earlier random bond small bricks. In the left end wall of the outshut there is flint rubble with a blocked pointed arch opening in brick. The small outshut and adjoining garden wall at this end also have early brick and flint rubble. The rear elevation has circa late C19 or early C20 2-light casements and a doorway with what is probably a re-used pediment.
Interior not inspected although the C19 joinery has apparently survived. The left hand front room has a mid C19 Chimneypiece and the right hand front room has a moulded plaster cornice. The back range might contain earlier features.
